I’ll Miss Summer

I’ll miss summer in the city 

The people in the park 

The green and lovely plant life 

The warm air after dark 


The air conditioned buildings 

The fairs on blocked off streets 

The melons and the ice cream 

Hot nights on thinnest sheets


Unhurried walks on weekends 

Avoiding sleeping bums 

The roaches on the sidewalk 

And rancid garbage trucks 


The oppressive, steamy weather 

Jaywalking toward the shade 

But I’ll be here 

Throughout the year 

Where the grandest dreams are made
